Friendly League

Etihad Stadium
Spectators: 40 (Terracing: 31, Seating: 9, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Mátyás Nagy started the match with the kick off. Stanton Modipa hit a great freekick 2 minutes into the match. After having played for 6 minutes, Edries Liau managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Springbok's supporters crossed their fingers, but Edries Liau was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Kálmán Torma's late challenge caught a Springbok's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Kálmán Torma helped the player get up and apologised. Kálmán Torma hit a great freekick 10 minutes into the match. The crowd rose to their feet as ManchesterCity's Mátyás Nagy slotted home a wonderful shot that went in to the left of Ivan Mangope. That made the score 1-0 after 14 minutes of play. ManchesterCity's Gábor Peterdy got a good chance for a goal in the 17th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. 20 minutes into the match, Edries Liau notched a goal, 1-1, to the right of ManchesterCity's Adrián Bihari. Adrián Bihari was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Adrián Bihari took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Samuel Komani, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. In the 37th minute Edries Liau shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Adrián Bihari saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 43rd minute Samuel Komani shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Adrián Bihari saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 45th minute Samuel Komani shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Adrián Bihari saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Edries Liau was the one to do the kick off. A collision led to Springbok getting a freekick after 58 minutes play. Johann Stoltz hit a great ball. In the 75th minute, Samuel Komani hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. After a defensive mix-up in Springbok's zone, Mátyás Nagy stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Ivan Mangope came out of the goal and Mátyás Nagy tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. In a very dangerous position, a player in Springbok fell when an opponent tried to get the ball from him in the 86th minute. Penalty! In the 93rd minute ManchesterCity were awarded a corner. Mátyás Nagy went to the cornerflag to take it. A very nice done corner allowed Kálmán Torma to score against Ivan Mangope in Springbok's goal. 3-3 after 93 minutes. Springbok's Ivan Mangope played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Mátyás Nagy in the 97th minute of play. Bernard Thokozani kicked well hit freekick during the 98th minute of the match. The final whistle blew with the score still tied, and both teams left the pitch thinking about the missed chances that could have given their team the win.
